Don't do it. I replayed it a couple of years back, and it's still a good game, but 20+ years will really take the nostalgia glasses off, and ruin your memories. Better a pink cadillac in the sky than a bethesda in the hand.

Didn't even know F1 had mods. I played it a few years ago unmodded (and I am guessing unpatched since I used my physical copies for installation) and everything was fine. Yeah it hasn't aged well but I highly doubt most people here give a damn.

I played FO1 around 2013 and had a bizarre bug with FIXT, couldn't enter Mariposa because it wasn't possible to activate the door or something. Granted, it was 5 years ago and the problem might've been fixed...

I think what Fallout 1/2 would really benefit from would be a combat overhaul/enhancement mod similar to 1.13 for Jagged Alliance 2, which would just add a lot more combat skills, weapons, tactics, etc. The default combat system is kinda entertaining with the gore and all, but not exactly deep.

Well, you're right but i don't see Fallout1/2 mods taking that direction and it seems the Fallout modding community is slowly dying.

We'll have to wait for an indie game dev to step up with a similar setup and an improved gameplay/battle system.

Fixt is definitely still in beta, I’m not surprised to hear about the Mariposa bug. There’s also some questionable changes made in the base fixes only version, such as starting the player with a flamer, laser pistol, or lockpick if they tag the requisite skills. The guy who made fixt even acknowledges this, but fixt updates have been MIA for several years.

That plus the likely prevalence of other game changing alterations in the same vein as starting with advanced weapons, makes me recommend against it.

The best FO1 experience, especially if you haven’t played in a while, is TeamX’s 1.3.5. Use the NPC mod if you want, but the game will be easier. Add crafy’s sfall for shift for highlight, and Mash’s patch to play in fullscreen 960x540, which is how it should be played on modern 16:9 screens.

All this is in my signature links. Avoid the RP/Wasteland Ghost stuff unless you want a much more punishing and slightly buggier version. I wouldn’t recommend it based on the OP’s post.

I'm always surprised by how well the game holds up to be honest. The only real annoyance I have with the game is that inventory management can become a mouthful at times, especially later on. But it's a fantastic game still, with some very cool ideas.
